Kiss concert canceled due to ‘too wet stage’

Avoid pointing out to your Kiss buff buddies that the concerts of Jamie Cullum at Jazz à Vienne (Isère) and Juliette Armanet at the Nuits de Fourvière (in Lyon) went off without a hitch on Thursday evening. More than 10,000 fans of the legendary American hard-rock group, renowned for its breathtaking pyrotechnic shows, had to decide to leave the Polo Club de la Plaine de l’Ain in Saint-Vulbas around 10 p.m., due to the cancellation of the concert.

Even if Ain has been placed on orange alert to thunderstorms, the Printemps de Pérouges organization confirmed Thursday on its social networks that this long-awaited date would be maintained. Messages since deleted on Facebook and Instagram, like those of many spectators disgusted by the course of the evening. Two days after a serious hiccup, which had seen the first part of Deep Purple, Gaëlle Buswel, being canceled due to a technical and logistical delay, the Rhône-Alpes music festival was expected at the turn on Thursday.

“I will never see them since it was really their last tour”

This time, despite the rain falling unsurprisingly in Saint-Vulbas, a first part was able to respond, unlike the group The Foxy Ladies. Then no Kiss on stage at 9 p.m. as planned. Finally, around 9:55 p.m., as reported Progress, the production formalized the news that everyone feared: “We are sorry, we did everything we could, but the stage is too wet. “A pattern that did not convince the fans as soaked as reassembled. Aurélien tells.

I drove 1h30, then 1 hour in line to get back to the site in the rain, and another 1 hour of waiting [toujours sous la pluie] in uncovered bleachers so… not to see Kiss. I’m just disgusted, I’ll never see them since it was really their last tour.

Jean-Philippe continues: “It’s a p… joke. There was a storm warning all day but that cancels at 10pm once everyone is there after hitting the road. I expect the transfer within the week”. Conspired from all sides, the Printemps de Pérouges will indeed have little choice but to reimburse these thousands of disappointed spectators. Shortly before midnight, Kiss in turn communicated on his Twitter account “We are so disappointed, but the safety of our fans and our team comes first.” And to hell with the rock’n’roll spirit.
